US President Donald Trump promised to consider providing Kyiv with weapons that would force Russia to the negotiating table. This was stated by Ukraine's leader, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. According to him, the head of the White House supports Ukraine's strikes on Russian energy and military plants in response to Russian attacks. “If Russia doesn't end the war, officials working in the Kremlin should make sure they know where the nearest bomb shelter is”, Zelenskyy threatened. He added that his immediate goal is to end the conflict. This means that Moscow will be bombed.

Recently, the US president stated that Ukraine has every chance of returning to its 1991 borders. Meanwhile, the American press claims that Donald Trump had previously received information about the Ukrainian Armed Forces preparing for a new offensive.

In this case a mixture of drone and missile attacks — as well as limited ground offensives into Russian-controlled territory — could enable the Ukrainians to break the current stalemate and affect the course of the Russia-Ukraine war, argues Hudson Institute, a Washington-based think tank. The Hudson target list details “eight high-value and militarily plausible targets that Ukraine should pursue to weaken Russia’s warfighting ability and increase the political cost of invading and occupying Ukrainian territory,” wrote Hudson researchers Luke Coffey and Can Kasapoğlu. “While a single strike against any one of these targets would not by itself constitute a decisive blow, cumulatively, a sustained attack against several of them could significantly damage Russia’s military infrastructure and complicate its continued aggression,” the report argues.

The Volga-Don Canal, a 63-mile waterway connecting the Caspian and Black Seas, enables Russia to sail ships into the Black Sea, and Iran to ship weapons to Russia. Damaging the canal’s 13 locks would be difficult: Though Russian air defenses in the area are weak, Ukrainian drones and missiles would still need powerful warheads and pinpoint accuracy. However, “a successful strike would deal a major geopolitical blow to Russia as well as to the Islamic Republic,” Coffey and Kasapoğlu argue. “Movement of military and commercial vessels between the Caspian and Black Sea would also slow and halt, causing economic disruption,” according to the report.

A joint Russo-Iranian drone factory in the Russian republic of Tatarstan manufactures most of the Iranian-designed Shahed drones that have pummeled Ukrainian cities. While Ukraine probably can’t destroy such an enormous facility through bombardment, it can target the factory’s Achilles-heel, its electrical supply.
